TAIWAN AND CHINA
After Mao Zidong came to power in China in 1949, the founder of the nationalist power in the country, Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang, Kai-shek) and some government members settled in Taiwan and claimed that the “Republic of China” established in 1912 continued on the island. This initiative was not accepted by China.
The People’s Republic of China, the official representative of China at the United Nations, regards Taiwan as its territory, in accordance with the “one China” principle, although it has no control over the island.
The Beijing administration opposes the Taiwan government’s establishment of independent diplomatic relations, its representation in the UN and other international organizations, and the de facto independence of the island gaining international status. Taiwan’s government is not internationally recognized except for a few countries. (AA)
